Actually, yes I do know. I also know that my faith superceeds everything else, including profits. Some of us just roll like that. If it were me, I would close up shop and start all over again.

Bold talk for someone who's probably never risked what that family has.

Have you ever started a business? Did you persevere through every hardship and mind numbing terror for years, until you finally succeeded in making a success of it? Did you build it into an enterprise that was successful enough to have a handful, scores, or even hundreds of employees, and many thousands of customers?

I highly doubt it.

You can sit here posturing on Free Republic from the comfort of your armchair, but you've never faced what the owners of Hobby Lobby are facing. Proclamations such as yours aren't borne from real world experience, but small-minded, solidified personal views.

Walk a mile in a business owner's shoes before you cast judgment on what they should or should not do in this case.

Totally agree and thanks for saying it; it is very hard to do but easy for many to say...their hearts are in the right place but really should think before talking.

:) Believe whatever you want. If the judgement is that he has to support abortion, then I hope he will close his business up and make a stand.

People of faith are called to look a little different. Apparently that is something you don’t understand.

Have I walked that faith in my own life- yes I have for many years. Have I risked huge things for my faith? Yes- huge things that I bet you could not even imagine. Do I see other people of faith doing the same? Yes, all of the time.

I am not looking for an argument. I am stating my opinion.

Have a good night.
